BRUNSWICK

Looking for something to do this Saturday? How about the Pejepscot Historical Society’s Hidden History Tour.

Bring the whole family and help them kick off the new season with a self-guided tour of 12 sites in Brunswick, Topsham and Harpswell. The half-day community event features historic gems not generally open to the public. Participants stop briefly at each site to see one or two special features, then move onto the next stop.

Sites remain a mystery until the morning of the event, which will be revealed at 8 a.m. at Pejepscot Historical Society. Participants then receive maps to get stamped along the tour (and scavenger hunts for children), while enjoying refreshments courtesy of Mr. Bagel. Tour stops will be open from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (You may come to PHS anytime between 8 and 11 a.m. to get your map.)

Participants who visit at least eight sites can return to PHS until 1 p.m. to claim two free admission tickets to PHS’s historic house museums, good for the 2017 season. Children who participate in the scavenger hunt will win a prize. All ticket holders are also entered into a drawing for door prizes, which will be drawn at 1 p.m. The tour happens rain or shine.

Advance tickets for the tour are $10 for PHS members, $15 general admission, and $5 for children (ages 6- 16). In addition, PHS is offering a special on new memberships in conjunction with a ticket purchase: $5 off individual membership or $10 off household membership. Tickets can also be purchased the morning of the event at PHS: $12 for PHS members, $17 general admission, $8 children.
